Really? All he has been has been "potential" without every delivery game-changing plays. When is it time to realize that if "potential" doesn't happen for 4-5 years, it is no longer potential, but a FAILED, UNREALIZED potential?

Remembering that Year 1 & Year 5 of Mendenhall's career have been washouts through injury.

If that's a failed player- there must be very few success stories in the NFL. You can not like a player without disregarding what his abilities are. Fact is, Mendenhall offers more game changing ability than the likes of Dwyer & Redman, and if the Steelers lose their other game changing player- Mike Wallace- they might need someone that can break a game open.

I don't see a problem with them signing RM. He's not the problem here. The FO and coaches see him every day and I have a fair amount of confidence in them despite a rough year.

I disagree. We have a chemistry/attitude problem and he is the ring leader of said problem. He is such not the problem that he isn't showing up for games and is getting suspended. That sounds like a real "non problem" to me.

there is no "I" in team, but there is definitely a "Me" in Mendenhall...

Sure,lets reward him with a nice 3 year contract for his unparalleled performance this season.
A season filled with injuries,fumbles, a suspension. Let's not forget to mention the lack of support he showed for his teammates by not showing up on gameday.
While the front office is at it, why not throw 15 million a year to the malcontent, a.k.a. Mr. Wallace
Whats the worst that could happen?
